Another bummer from the year of 2020: Fungie the solitary dolphin, a 37-year-mainstay of Dingle Harbour in County Kerry, Ireland, has gone missing and has likely died. He was more than just an animal to the locals. He was a world renowned and beloved tourist attraction. This gets filed under news of the weird because it's extremely rare for a dolphin to remain in the geographically small zone of a single harbor for practically an entire lifespan. Bottlenose dolphins normally live about 30-40 years in the wild.

To bad that political parties don't change their corruption ways

Cool story about Jed and his long lost letterman jacket:
Jed Mottley played varsity football 28 years ago (1993) at Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, when nothing screamed ultimate pride in your sport and school like a letterman jacket — but Mottley didn't have one.
"I went down to the store that year and picked everything out," Mottley told CNN. "You had to kind of design the jacket yourself ... but I never saw the final product."
When it came time to pick it up, Mottley's mother told him they didn't have the money to buy it. HE NEVER TOOK POSSESSION OF THE JACKET.
But Mottley's older brother Josh happened to be in the right place at the right time on Nov. 3, 2021. He found Jed's letterman jacket hanging on the rack of a thrift shop in Pinetop, AZ almost 180 miles away from Chaparral high school, for $25 — a stark difference from its original $300 price tag, Mottley estimated. Jed's brother was poking around Veterans Village Thrift Store in Pinetop when he spotted the bright red jacket, he told CNN affiliate KNXV.
"My mom was one of the most religious people I knew and she always said, 'I'm going to give you guys a sign from the other side,'" Jed said. "She passed away in 2012 but we never got that sign."
The jacket had the name "Jed" stitched under the left pocket, "94" stitched under the right pocket, and a football, the letters "WR" and the number 1 stitched on the right arm. "Chaparral" was stitched inside a big letter "C" on the top left part of the jacket. Based on the condition of the jacket, Jed said, he doesn't think anyone ever wore the jacket that was custom made for him. The "inspected by" tag was still in its pocket.
